National Park System

The National Park System of the United States, now in
the early years of its second century, comprises nearly
333 areas covering some 79 million acres in 49 States,
the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan, and
the Virgin Islands. These areas are of such national
significance as to justify special recognition and protec-
tion in accordance with various acts of Congress.

By Act of March 1 , 1 872, Congress established Yellow-
stone National Park in the Territories of Montana and
Wyoming "as a public park or pleasuring ground for the
benefit and enjoyment of the people" and placed it
"under exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior."
The founding of Yellowstone National Park began a
worldwide national park movement. Today more than
1 00 nations contain some 1 ,200 national parks or equiva-
lent preserves.

In the years following the establishment of Yellow-
stone, the United States authorized additional national
parks and monuments, most of them carved from the
Federal lands of the West. These, also, were adminis-
tered by the Department of the Interior, while other
monuments and natural and historical areas were admin-
istered as separate units by the War Department and the
Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture. No
single agency provided unified management of the varied
Federal parklands.

In an Act signed on August 25, 1916, Congress estab-
lished in the Department of the Interior the National Park
Service to provide cohesive administration of such areas
under the Department's jurisdiction. The Act says: The
service thus established shall promote and regulate the
use of the Federal areas known as national parks,
monuments and reservations . . . by such means and
measures as conform to the fundamental purpose of the
said parks, monuments and reservations, which purpose
is to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic
objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the
enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such
means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment
of future generations.

An Executive Order in 1933 transferred 63 national
monuments and military sites from the Forest Service
and the War Department to the National Park Service.
This action was a major step in the development of
today's truly national system of parks— a system that
includes areas of historical as well as scenic and scientif-
ic importance.

Congress declared in the General Authorities Act of
1970 "that the National Park System, which began with

the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in 1872,
has since grown to include superlative natural, historic,
and recreation areas in every region . . . and that it is the
purpose of this Act to include all such areas in the

System "

Additions to the National Park System are now gener-
ally made through acts of Congress, and national parks
can be created only through such acts. But the President
has authority, under the Antiquities Act of 1906, to
proclaim national monuments on lands already under
Federal jurisdiction. The Secretary of the Interior is usual-
ly asked by Congress for his recommendations on pro-
posed additions to the System. The Secretary is
counseled by the National Park System Advisory Board,
composed of private citizens, which advises him on
possible additions to the System and policies for its
management.

Nomenclature of Park Service Areas

The diversity of the parks is reflected in the variety of
titles given to them. These include such designations as
national park, national preserve, national monument, na-
tional memorial, national historic site, national seashore,
and national battlefield park.

Although some titles are self-explanatory, others have
been used in many different ways. For example, the title
"national monument" has been given to great natural
reservations, historic military fortifications, prehistoric ru-
ins, fossil sites, and to the Statue of Liberty.

In recent years, Congress and the National Park Serv-
ice have attempted, with some success, to simplify the
nomenclature and to establish basic criteria for use of the
different official titles. Brief definitions of the most com-
mon titles follow.

Areas added to the National Park System for their
natural values are expanses or features of land or water
of great scenic and scientific quality and are usually
designated as national parks, monuments, preserves,
seashores, lakeshores, or riverways. Such areas contain,
one or more distinctive attributes such as forest, grass-
land, tundra, desert, estuary, or river systems; they may
contain "windows" on the past for a view of geological
history, imposing landforms such as mountains, mesas,
thermal areas, and caverns, and they may be habitats of
abundant or rare wildlife and plantlife.

Generally, a national park covers a large area. It
contains a variety of resources and encompasses suffi-
cient land or water to ensure adequate protection of the
resources.

A national monument is intended to preserve at least
one nationally significant resource. It is usually smaller
than a national park and lacks its diversity of attractions.

In 1974, Big Cypress and Big Thicket were authorized
as the first national preserves. This category is estab-
lished primarily for the protection of certain resources.
Activities such as hunting and fishing or the extraction of
minerals and fuels may be permitted if they do not
jeopardize the natural values.

Preserving shoreline areas and off-shore islands, the
national lakeshores and national seashores focus on
the preservation of natural values while at the same time
providing water-oriented recreation. Although national
lakeshores can be established on any natural freshwater
lake, the existing four are all located on the Great Lakes.
The national seashores are on the Atlantic, Gulf, and
Pacific coasts.

National rivers and wild and scenic riverways pre-
serve ribbons of land bordering on free-flowing streams
which have not been dammed, channelized, or otherwise
altered by man. Besides preserving rivers in their natural
state, these areas provide opportunities for outdoor activ-
ities such as hiking, canoeing, and hunting.

Although best known for its great scenic parks, more
than half the areas of the National Park System preserve
places and commemorate persons, events, and activities
important in the Nation's history. These range from
archeological sites associated with prehistoric Indian
civilizations to sites related to the lives of modern Ameri-
cans. Historical areas are customarily preserved or re-
stored to reflect their appearance during the period of
their greatest historical significance.

In recent years, national historic site has been the
title most commonly applied by Congress in authorizing
the addition of such areas to the National Park System. A
wide variety of titles— national military park, national
battlefield park, national battlefield site, and national
battlefield— has been used for areas associated with
American military history. But other areas such as na-
tional monuments and national historical parks may
include features associated with military history. National
historical parks are commonly areas of greater physical
extent and complexity than national historic sites.

The title national memorial is most often used for
areas that are primarily commemorative. But they need
not be sites or structures historically associated with their
subjects. For example, the home of Abraham Lincoln in
Springfield, III., is a national historic site, but the Lincoln
Memorial in the District of Columbia is a national memorial.

Several areas administered by National Capital Region
whose titles do not include the words national memorial

are nevertheless classified as memorials. These are
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Lincoln
Memorial, Lyndon Baines Johnson Memorial Grove on
the Potomac, Theodore Roosevelt Island, Thomas Jef-
ferson Memorial, and the Washington Monument— all in
the District of Columbia.

Originally, national recreation areas in the Park Sys-
tem were units surrounding reservoirs impounded by
dams built by other Federal agencies. The National Park
Service manages many of these areas under cooperative
agreements. The concept of recreational areas has
grown to encompass other lands and waters set aside for
recreational use by acts of Congress and now includes
major areas in urban centers. There are also national
recreation areas outside the National Park System that
are administered by the Forest Service, U.S. Department
of Agriculture.

National parkways encompass ribbons of land flank-
ing roadways and offer an opportunity for leisurely driving
through areas of scenic interest. They are not designed
for high speed point-to-point travel. Besides the areas set
aside as parkways, other units of the National Park
System include parkways within their boundaries.

Two areas of the National Park System have been set
aside primarily as sites for the performing arts. These
are Wolf Trap Farm Park for the Performing Arts, Va.,
America's first such national park, and the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, D.C. Two histori-
cal areas, Ford's Theatre National Historic Site, D.C, and
Chamizal National Memorial, Tex., also provide facilities
for the performing arts.

Designation of Wilderness Areas

In the Wilderness Act of 1964, Congress directed three
Federal agencies, including the National Park Service, to
study certain lands within their jurisdiction to determine
the suitability of these lands for inclusion in the National
Wilderness Preservation System.

By subsequent legislation, Congress has designated
wilderness areas in many units of the National Park
System. This designation (noted in this booklet in the
listing by States) does not remove wilderness lands from
the parks. But it does ensure that they will be managed to
retain their "primeval character and influence, without
permanent improvements or human habitation. . . ."

The Act provides, generally that "there shall be no
commercial enterprise and no permanent road within any
wilderness area . . . and (except for emergency uses) no
temporary road, no use of motor vehicles, motorized

equipment or motorboats, no landing of aircraft, no other
form of mechanical transport, and no structure or installa-
tion." Wilderness areas are open to hiking and, in some
cases, horseback riding, primitive camping, and similar
pursuits.

Parks in the Nation's Capital

As the Nation's Capital, Washington has a unique park
system. Most of the public parks are administered by the
Federal Government through National Capital Region of
the National Park Service.

National Capital Region has inherited duties originally
assigned to three Federal Commissioners appointed by
President Washington in 1790. The city's parks were
administered by a variety of Federal agencies until this
responsibility was assigned to the National Park Service
under the Reorganization Act of 1933. Most parklands in
the city are included in the Federal holdings, although the
District of Columbia also operates parks, playgrounds,
and recreational facilities.

National Capital Region also administers several Na-
tional Park System units in Maryland, Virginia, and West
Virginia, which are shown in this booklet in the listing by
States.

Large Additions in Alaska

The acreage of the National Park System has been
more than doubled during the past few years because of
one factor— the huge additions made in Alaska. On June
30, 1977, the size of the Park System was approximately
31.3 million acres. On December 1, 1978, President
Jimmy Carter exercised his authority under the Antiqui-
ties Act of 1906 to proclaim as units of the National Park
System 11 new national monuments in Alaska and to
make substantial additions to two existing monuments.
The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act,
which became law on December 2, 1980, altered bound-
aries of those units and redesignated most of them as
national parks and national preserves. Following that
enactment, the acreage of the National Park System
stood at approximately 79 million, with about 54.4 million
of that in Alaska.

abound in wildlife. The Alaska brown bear, the world's largest carnivore,
thrives here, feeding upon red salmon which spawn in the many lakes
and streams. Wild rivers and renowned sport fishing add to the attrac-
tions of this subarctic environment. Here, in 1917, Novarupta Volcano
erupted violently, forming the ash filled "Valley of Ten Thousand

Wild and Scenic Rivers System

Public Law 90-542, of October 2, 1968, provides for
the establishment of a system of rivers to be preserved
as free-flowing streams accessible for public use and
enjoyment. Components of the system, or portions of
component rivers, may be designated as wild, scenic, or
recreational rivers. Rivers are classified according to the
natural qualities they possess and the evidence, as
viewed from the river, of man's presence in the area.
Thus, in a wild river there is little evidence of man's
presence, the river is free of impoundments (dams) and
generally inaccessible except by trail. A scenic river is
one with relatively primitive shorelines, largely undevel-
oped, but accessible in places by road. A recreational
river has more development, is accessible by road or
railroad, and may have been dammed.

Once a river area is designated a component of the
Wild and Scenic Rivers System, the objective of the
managing agency— local, State, or Federal— is to pre-
serve or enhance the qualities which qualified the river
for inclusion within the system. Recreational use must be
compatible with preservation.

State rivers and streams may become units of the Wild
and Scenic Rivers System when established under State
laws and developed with river management plans ac-
ceptable to the Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary
may then designate the appropriate river area as a unit of
the system. Federally managed components of the sys-
tem are designated by Acts of Congress. Usually, Con-
gress first requires, by law, a detailed study to determine
the qualification of a river area for the system, then
makes the decision based on the findings of the study.

Important additions to the Wild and Scenic Rivers
System were made in the Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act of December 2, 1 980. Twelve rivers lie
wholly within units of the National Park System: Alatna,
Aniakchak, Charley, Chilikadrotna, John, Kobuk, Mulchat-
na, Noatak (part), North Fork of the Koyukuk, Tinayguk,
Tlikakila, and Salmon. Alagnak Wild River is a unit of the
National Park System. Six Alaskan wild rivers are in the
National Wildlife Refuge System: Andreafsky, Ivishak, No-
witna, Selawik, Sheenjek, and Wind. Portions of six rivers
outside parks, preserves, and refuges are administered
by the Fish and Wildlife Service: Beaver Creek, Birch
Creek, Delta, Fortymile, Gulkana, and Unalakleet. And
portions of twelve additional Alaskan rivers were desig-
nated for study under the act.

Acreages of the wild rivers within Alaska's units of the
National Park System are not stated separately. Acre-
ages of wild rivers within the National Wildlife Refuge
System in Alaska and those outside both the park and
refuge systems are yet to be determined.

National Trail System

A national system of trails was authorized by Public
Law 90-543 also on October 2, 1968. Under its terms,
national scenic trails were authorized to provide access
to, travel within, and enjoyment and appreciation of
open-air, outdoor areas of the Nation. A decade later, on
November 10, 1978, the law was amended to provide
recognition of historic trails marking routes of commerce,
exploration, and migration in America.

Generally, the National Scenic Trails are to be protect-
ed by Federal, State, and local agencies in such fashion
as to assure public recreational access to the trails and
to preserve their natural settings and to protect them
from commercial or residential development which would
disrupt public use of the trails.

The National Historic Trails are simply designated to
recognize historically important routes. Where these
trails cross Federal lands, the managing agency is re-
sponsible for marking and preserving the trail routes.
State and local agencies may choose to take an active
management role on those parts of the trails outside of
Federal jurisdiction. No Federal funds will be spent to
acquire additional lands for the historic trails without
specific approval from Congress.

The Grand Canyon's North Rim is about 1,000 feet higher than
its companion to the south. The higher elevation produces a
dramatically different climate with winters often seeing 10 feet
of snow on the ground. The North Rim is more difficult to
get to, but a visit here and to the South Rim, too, will give you a
full and complete picture of the grandeur of this national park.

National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior

As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the
Department of the Interior has responsibility for most
of our nationally owned public lands and natural
resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of
our land and water resources, protecting our fish and
wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural
values of our national parks and historical places, and
providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor
recreation. The Department assesses our energy and
mineral resources and works to assure that their
development is in the best interest of all our people.
The Department also has a major responsibility for
American Indian reservation communities and for
people who live in island territories under U.S.
administration.
